SHADE-BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 749,088, dated January 5, 1904. Application filed April 25, 1903. Serial No. 154,323. (No model.)

2.'0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK J. NICHOLS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Shade-Brackets, of which the following is a specification. V

Thisinvention relates to improvements in shade-brackets; and the Object is to provide a simple, cheap, and easily-applied bracket which may be readily adjusted to accommodate shade-rollers of dierent lengths.

With the above Object in view the invention conssts in the novel features of construction hereinafter fully described, particnlarly pointed out in the claim, and clearly illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view showing my invention applied to a window-frame; Fig. 2, a Similar view of the supporting-bar, upon which the shadebracket arm is slidable; and Fig. 3, a similar view of thesupportingbracket for one end of said bar.

Referring now more particularly to said drawings, 1 designates a bar having an offset attaching portion 2 at one end, by means of which it is attached to the flat portion of the side piece of the window-frame at the outer side of the ornamental portion of the latter by a screw or other securing device. The opposite end of the bar is supported by a bracket 3, which is adjustable therein, whereby it may be adjusted to different widths of side pieces of window-frames, so that it may be attached to the flat portion of the side piece at the inner side of the ornamental portion. This bracket consists of a plate perforated to receive a screw or other securing device by which it is secured to the side piece of the window-frame and formed with a slot to receive the bar.

Slidable on bar 1 is a bracket-arm 4, formed to receive one end of the shade-roller and having a slotted portion 5 to receive the bar. Said arm may be adjusted upon the bar to the desired position and is locked in its adjusted position by a screw 6, passing through portion 5 thereof and engaging the bar.

My improved shade-roller bracket, as described, maybe quickly attached to the window-frame, it being necessary simply to secure the bracket 3 and one end of the bar to the frame.

The device may be either cast or stamped,

and owing to its simplicity and small number of parts may be placed upon the market at a very low price.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

A shade-roller bracket consisting of a transversely-extending bar having one end ofiset and arranged in a plane parallel with the re-.

maining part of the bar, the said remaining part of the bar being projected outwardly to extend over irregular surfaces, a fastening extending through the oset end of the bar, a bracket slidably mounted on the portion of the bar projected outwardly by the ofiset at one end, and a support for the free extremity of the bar opposite the ofiset end, said support consisting of an upper guide through which the bar extends and a lower securing member.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature M. MILLARD, MATTIE M. NICHoLs.
